Wanted: region specialists Eastern Europe/Middle-East
Het Actiefonds has five sections with region specialists (volunteers) who decide which projects will be funded. We are now looking for volunteers with knowledge of and a network in either Eastern Europe or the Middle-East. Do you have affinity with activism and social movements and a few spare hours every month? And do you endorse the objectives and vision of Het Actiefonds? Join our section!
The East section is responsible for funding action groups in different countries in the Eastern Europe and Middle-East regions. In addition to assessing funding proposals, we try to increase the awareness of Het Actiefonds in the region.
What do we expect from volunteers?
- Affinity with the work of Het Actiefonds;
- Knowledge of socio-political relations in the region;
- A network of activists and critical grassroots movements in the region;

When you become an active member of the section, we do not expect you to be an expert on all topics and countries. It is important that you have some knowledge of the socio-political relations and also that you have some insights into the dynamics of social movements. During the discussions at the monthly meetings you will deepen and develop your knowledge further.
We want to especially encourage people who have roots in the region to apply.
